What is Tor Browser?

The Tor software protects
you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of
relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody
watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit,
it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location,
and it lets you access sites which are blocked.

Tor Browser lets you use Tor on
Microsoft Windows, Apple MacOS, or GNU/Linux without needing to install any software.
It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web
browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained
(portable).

How can I make my own bundle?We use rbm
to ensure that byte-for-byte reproducible packages can be built from our
source repository by anyone. To rebuild the bundle, check out the Tor
Browser builder repository and see the README
for instructions. You may also find the Tor
Browser Hacking intro document useful for learning about the build system
and our development processes.

Where else can I get Tor Browser?In some countries the Tor Project website is blocked or censored and it is not possible to download
Tor directly. The Tor Project also hosts a mirror of Tor Browser Bundle on Github.

The GetTor service can also be used to download Tor Browser when the Project website and mirrors are blocked.
